Chapter 171 - The Mark. (1/2)

Lucio thought that he had already seen everything and said.

”Alright, that's enough for now.”

Krune then stopped attacking and wait to see what his Master would say.

”As I can see, it seems like everything is normal with the way that your Elemental Core works. The only difference is your control over the Elemental Source Energy. It is a lot better than any of us here when we were in your realm.”

Lucio then explained the difference in combat prowess between him and the others. Krune, of course, was ecstatic to hear that!

”Is it that good?!”

Lucio nodded and then asked a question.

”By the way, your first Sun in your foundation has grown quite a bit after absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation. Is it possible to make your Planet orbit it now?”

Krune immediately shook his head.

”No. I checked it as soon as the Ordeal was over. The problem is that my Sun is too unstable at the moment, so its gravitational pull is disorderly. But as I can see, it should stabilize in a week or so, then I'm going to do what Master said.”

Lucio nodded and added.

”Good, the more it acts as a real universe, the smoother your foundation will become. Of course, it is just one Sun and one Planet so far, so the difference that you will feel will be minuscule.”

Krune nodded. Light Spirit had already told him that.

”Alright, you go back and spend the next month or so reinforcing and stabilizing your cultivation. There is no point in cultivating at the moment since your body will need time to get used to it. It should also coincide with your Feifei's arrival for the exchange program.”

Krune nodded, but before he left, he decided to ask his Master another thing that was bothering him.

”Master, after I broke through into the Core Formation Realm, I found something weird inside my core. Can you take a look at this?”

Krune then opened his foundation for view and guided his Master with Divine Sense to the right place. There, one could see some kind of Mark silent staying without moving at all.

Krune had asked Light Spirit if he knew what it was, but Light Spirit had no idea. All that Light Spirit said was that it had some power infused inside. Still, it couldn't do him any harm, nor could it be used for anything cultivation related. It also couldn't be tracked either. At most, it could be used as a means of identification like an ID, but that was all. As for what that power inside served for, he had no idea. Krune didn't know when it appeared, too. In the end, he decided to ask his Master if he knew what it was.

Lucio then took a look at that and was taken aback!

”This- This is!”

By Lucio's reaction, Krune understood that it wasn't just a mark, after all.

Suddenly, Lucio started to laugh.

”Wang Xin, I'm looking forward to seeing your face in the future. Hahahaha!”

Krune got even more puzzled. But he could at least understand that it had something to do with the Wang Clan now and that it was probably Feifei or Uncle Feng that left it there. Lucio then looked at Krune and said.

”Don't worry, this thing can't do any harm to you. In fact, this is something that you probably will like very much.”

Krune then asked what it was, but Lucio then shook his head.

”You should ask your Feifei when she comes to the Sect. I'm sure she can answer your question. Consider it as a surprise.”

Although Krune was still somewhat puzzled, he let it at that. Since it is something good and related to Feifei, then he doesn't care about keeping it with him. Krune then returned to his residence and did as his Master said. He immediately started to reinforce and stabilize his foundation. But there was one thing different.

”Master said to spend a month doing it, but as I can see, I won't need more than two weeks to get everything under control. Well, that's even better, and I guess I will spend some time doing other things. I still haven't gone to the Alchemist or Blacksmith Halls to take a look yet.”

Krune only stayed at home for 3 days when suddenly, he received a message from his Master.

”Go to the Blacksmith Hall and have better shields created. During the last tribulation, they shattered way too easily. I can't have you using something soo bad.”

Krune didn't like that final comment since he knows how much effort Marcus put on forging those shields. Still, in his Master's eyes, it is indeed something of inferior quality. It had nothing to do with Lucio being disrespectful, he was just stating a fact. Krune's shields are indeed very bad when you consider the place that he is at the moment.

Krune then decided that he would go to the Blacksmith Hall the next day to check his Master's arrangements. He then took his remained Hexagonal Shields out and packed them carefully. After that, he asked for one of the wisps to send it back to the Makui Planet. He also left a recorded message inside so Marcus could take a look. Perhaps, it can help him in the future.

The next day, Krune took the closest teleport formation to the Blacksmith Hall. This time, he had brought his hat together, so his rainbow hair was hidden. Thanks to that, no one paid attention to him. Core Formation Realm cultivators and demon beasts are extremely common here, after all.

Krune went to the counter and showed his Master's badge, that would be the fastest way to get things done.

The attendant saw that and almost jumped in fright.

”You ar-”

”Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Krune immediately closed the attendant's mouth before he could say anything else.

”No need to let everyone know, right?”

The attendant nodded and understood what Krune meant. After that, he asked.

”How can I help you today?”
